"Tarpon Springs is an interesting place to visit. There 's an odd mix of tourists, locals, and out-of-towners that keeps the area feeling like a tourist trap, but still maintains a certain local charm. Being a settlement of the Greeks back in the day for sponge diving, there is certainly no shortage of Greek themed food establishments. Yeah, some famous named TV chef endorses this one restaurant, and some slightly famous food video blogger raves about another, blah blah. But there is a nice, slightly off the path gem called Costa 's right there in the center of town. First, the service. perfect every time. Nice, friendly, and prompt. Second, the prices are very reasonable. Third, the food is quite simply the best Greek/Mediterranean cuisine on the planet. Portions are more than sufficient to satisfy the largest appetites. Always start with the Saganaki (flaming cheese). We 've had so many wonderful dishes here. The Mousaka will blow your mind! The lamb shank can almost feed two. The Souvlaki (chicken or pork) is so juicy and tender and comes with a ton of garnishes. Their Greek salad is a work of art and comes with a dressing that nears a religious experience. Let 's talk Gyro meat for a second. There are so many variations and recipes for a good Gyro. But, Costa 's has the absolute best Gyro meat on the planet. The seasonings aren 't over bearing and the meat is always glistening with juices and so very tender. When in Tarpon Springs, get away from the dolphin cruise barkers and redundant tourist gift shops for a bit and sit your butt down at Costa 's for grub. You will NOT leave hungry, guaranteed. I would recommend doing a dolphin cruise, BEFORE eating though. There are no public facilities on Anclote Island and the accommodations on the dolphin cruises would be less than desirable for any such... needs ."

Grilled octopus was very good tender and lightly charged. The sauce was delicious. Service was casual, but efficient.

Really good food. The locals recommend. Come hungry. The serving are large. Tip, if you pick up an area map at the tourist center (down the street), there 's a coupon for a free flaming cheese.

Here for lunch after exploring the tarpon spring and the sponge dock area. What a good find! I have their mixed seafood plate of shrimp, Calamari, Oktopus and groupers! It tasted fresh and had a good taste depth. View menu

Fantastic Greek restaurant in Tarpon Springs! They've been serving outstanding Greek cuisine since 1977. The menu is extensive, featuring daily lunch and dinner options. They also offer daily Happy Hour specials. The food is absolutely delicious!

Best gyros I?ve ever had. Authentic gyros. The meat was a thicker cut and cooked perfectly. Great wait staff. They even gave us a water bowl for our dog when we ate outside! They have a lot of Greek options on the menu. Just a great experience overall. Will definitely be back

Very delicious! We used to frequent another restaurant over the last 6 years, but after 2 bad experiences back to back, we decided to try Costa's. They seemed to be short staffed, but had MUCH better service than the other restaurant. Excellent selection of menu items. We will definitely be back! Kudos Costa's! View menu

Costas may be a bit away from the main town, but everything is within close reach, so it's easy to head over for a hearty meal. They offer a 2-for-1 happy hour, and we enjoyed the fried calamari, shrimp Saganaki, and, of course, the chicken gyro souvlaki sandwiches. The staff was friendly, and the service was attentive. It’s definitely worth a visit!

The food was quite good; we especially wanted to try the stuffed peppers, which did not disappoint. We also had the dolmades, and they were very tasty. The cod was impressive as well! However, I found the Loukoumades (Greek donut holes) to be a bit firmer than I expected. The service was average; while the server was friendly, it was a bit slow, and we felt overlooked at times. We were never offered dessert. I would definitely return for the stuffed peppers, but I'm uncertain about the overall experience.
